Glare shield

[Stnelson903]

I have a ‘78 M20k 231. On the under side of the glare shield on the pilots side is a black plastic cover. It’s oddly shaped. It doesn’t look like a light. Anybody know what it is?

Is it where the handle to pull yourself forward should be?

I’ll take a pic tomorrow. I don’t think a handle would be in that spot

You guys with your fancy schmancy new airplanes! The "handle" I pull myself forward with does triple duty as a central steel frame member and magnetic compass mount . . . . .     But al least my gear goes up and down with minimal finger effort in just a couple of seconds.

It may be a light that is supposed to light up the OAT gage and such. It has probably been burned out and nobody knew what it was.

From what little I know... The only thing in glare shields are lights and a compass...

The compass is on top. So it’s not a compass in your case...

As far as handles go... we all share the center tube... some are SS for improved magnetism issues...

ST, the pic is going to be required, i’m Afraid...

Best regards,

I agree on the price of tubing in the center being a great handle. I’ll b at the plane tomorrow. The light for the oat sounds feasible.

Yep. Two burned out bulbs behind it. Fixed
